Can We Just Stop w/ the Spam?

I get at least 5-10 spam comments a day that Akismet totally blocks out from my blog.  Usually, the posters are trying to publish something flattering or funny – which I’m okay with – but there’s little substance in their remarks.  Isn’t there some way that I could possibly be spammed, but on a higher level?  Can I get some more intelligent spammers instead of the regular bots that I’m sure they’re crawling my site with?

Is there a Spambot out there that’s at least a little bit more personable?

My Plea: come on spammers.  Can’t we just post legit shit?  Suck it up, commit to a sale, and let’s see how I receive your outreach.  I’m obviously deleting all your other fake posts, so what do you have to lose?  Contribute to my blog, and the traffic will be reciprocated[1. provided you aren't peddling trash].  Let the contest begin.

Happy Friday.
